 Methods for getting and setting environment variables, make
 directories etc.

  This class provides some standard Operating System functionality that
  is available from MEL.  These methods can be called instead of
  invoking MEL through the MGlobal class.

  NOTE: These methods are provided as a convenience.  It would be more
  efficient to call directly into the operating system than to use
  the methods of this class.
